What are the wattages of lights in your house/apartment?

What are the wattages of lights in your house/apartment?



Living Room

Front entry light at bottom of staircase - 200 Watt clear bulb in open fixture. Sometimes I put a 300 in.
Above large window - 2 40 Watt linear fluorescent lights
Below the same window - 4 40 Watt linear fluorescent lights for lighting cacti. Each is about half as bright as the ones above.
Floor lamp - One central 27 Watt compact fluorescent light(equivalent to 100 Watt incandescent). Two peripheral 15 Watt lights.
Mantle - 15W linear fluorescent light

Dining Room

Over the table - Fixture with four lights totalling 255 Watts. Dimmable.
Above window - 3 20 Watt linear fluorescent lights

Kitchen

Central light - 4 15 Watt linear fluorescent lights
Above sink - 30W linear fluorescent light
Stove light - Linear fluorescent light, not sure of wattage. Not very bright.

My bedroom

Ceiling light - 42W(150 equiv.) compact fluorescent light. I want to get one that's brighter and less yellow.
By door - 2 lamps with 4 independent lightbulbs - 25W, 40W, 60W, and 100W
On bookcase by bed - One standard lamp and one small clamp-lamp. 15W and 7.5W.
On right side of desk, in corner - Lamp with a 13W (50-60 equiv.) compact fluorescent light in top, 7.5W light in translucent globe on bottom.
On left side of desk - 110W lightbox

My house is kind of dark (except for the kids leaving the lights on all the time). I use 60's in most areas, except for the bathrooms and next to my bed. Those are either several 60's or a 15 for the bed.

Added to living room: 2nd Floor lamp, 100-200-300W central light, 3 X 60W peripheral lights (it was in the spare bedroom upstairs and needed a new cord)
My bedroom: Changed the 42W compact fluorescent to a 65W, put the 42W in the spare bedroom
Dining room: Reduced the maximum wattage on the central light from 255 to 220
Mistake on original list: 4 lights in kitchen are 20W, not 15W
